This humble dal is also known as Amritsari Dal or Maa Chole ki Dal or just langar dal. Whenever I make this dal, I am reminded of days when my dad was posted in Chandigarh and we often visited the gurudwara near our home to relish the soul warming langar meals there. Punjabi black lentils are love and I have shared many recipes such as dal makhani, dal bukhara, dal maharani and sabut masoor dal in the past....

Raju gari Pulao is a flavorful and delicious rice recipe made in pressure cooker. It is my take on one of the most popular Hyderabad based restaurant dishes called Raju gari kodi pulao. Raju garu means king in Telugu and this pulao is so rich and delicious that was fit to be served to a king. This vegetarian version of the Raju Gari Veg Pulao is just as much flavorful and tasty, without the use of any plant or meat-based protein....

Light some candles and Enjoy!

I feel inspired and excited to be busy creating new recipes and to share all my love and joy for the season!! Woohoo! On Tuesday I shared gooey pecan pie brownies for our Thanksgiving dinner. Today I’m balancing the yummy brownies with a bright, make-ahead Brussel sprout salad....

There’s nothing I enjoy more than a summer curry or stir-fry. Throw everything in a skillet with some seasonings, then serve with rice. The simplest of dinners that always comes out so flavorful and delicious. Curries might be my favorite, however. They’re summer comfort food with lots of fresh vegetables and a creamy sauce. And they’re usually coconut based, which is my favorite. Today I’m sharing a new summer curry that came together so wonderfully....

But, there is a catch! Interestingly, this fiery lamb curry, or rather, madras curry is relatively unknown in India. Surprisingly, lamb madras was invented in British-Indian restaurants, where its rich and robust flavors quickly captivated the taste buds of diners. Much like chicken tikka masala, this indo-brit dish is a true example of how cooking evolves across borders. I make a variety of south indian curries, such as chettinad chicken, coconut chicken curry, or malabar shrimp curry because my husband adores their flavors....

Breaking out a slow cooker recipe today and it’s not even October…sorry, but then not really. Because I’m pretty sure that most of us are about ready for a slow cooker recipe. Am I right? This is one of those dishes that I’ve been wanting to make for the longest time now. But I wanted to hold off until the autumn days started to set in. It’s creamy, herby, a touch buttery, and has the BEST flavor....

This macaroni and cheese is total perfection, my kids absolutely adore it and ask for it every week. Pair it with dishes such as Cajun shrimp, pan seared chicken breast, burnt ends, roasted chicken and sauteed asparagus for a complete meal that’s sure to get rave reviews. I’ve found that homemade mac and cheese can be a little tricky to get right. Sometimes I have issues with the sauce separating or being grainy from the flour, and I find that baked versions of mac and cheese can dry out easily....

Or at least my kind of healthy, which includes a reasonable amount of cheese. Obviously. But hey, there are so many good for me things in here. To name a few: spaghetti squash, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, garlic, herbs, olive oil and a good amount of cheese… for you know, calcium and stuff. Here’s the thing, I know that it seems as though everyone in the universe is nutso for pumpkin right now....

It’s the perfect warming drink for the cold fall and winter nights ahead. Ideal for cozying up with next to a roaring fire while the cold winds blow outside. I know persimmon’s are not the most popular autumn fruit out there, but I personally love them. The second I finally see them in the grocery store, come late October, I always buy a giant box full. It’s funny because the first time I ever tried a persimmon, I tried a very under ripe Hachiya persimmon and literally thought I was having an allergic reaction....

Burgers are a dinnertime champion in my book. They’re the ultimate crowd-pleaser – satisfying, customizable, and quick to whip up. No matter the season, I find myself turning to them for a fuss-free and flavorful meals.

It’s everything I really love most all muddled together in a cocktail glass. And geez, it’s good. A little smoky, spicy, and just a touch sweet....

All my favorite recipes usually start with a little back story and today’s recipe is very much Mother’s Day inspired. Way back when…as in 2013…when I was 19, living at home, and HBH was about 7 months old…these were my very early days guys (I was a freaking baby!). Sometimes I wish I was still 19, but it’s cool to see how far we’ve come! Anyway, since we lived in the same house, these were the days I’d make so many recipes for my mom....

Do you know what I’ve realized? I find each season to be incredibly special and exciting. I look forward to them all. And while fall is my favorite, spring can get me equally excited! With spring comes lighter colorful recipes – a nice change of pace from the cozier winter recipes. Today’s salad really reflects spring, but what I love is that it’s still filling and highly crave-able. I’ve been wanting to create a colorful spring salad for weeks, but I didn’t have any ideas I loved or that felt special enough....

Meatballs are always a hit in my house. When I need easy and kid friendly dinner recipes, I often make cheesy meatballs, meatball soup, or these simple teriyaki meatballs.
